Robert Forster is great as the rogue cop with the troubled past. The love intrest scientist is as predictable and typical as you would expect. And the kills are as comedically over the top as one would hope.
Ps: Also funny to see a kid wearing a t-shirt that said "I'm a pepper". Reminded me of what sculpt posted about David Naughton. ::cool::

We were trying to find this yesterday on HULU! No luck, so We watched...
HARRY IN YOUR POCKET (1972). Not a classic, but worth watching. Neophyte pickpocket Michael Sarrazin (how happy my wife was::love::!) with new girlfriend Trish Vandevere (How happy I was!::love::) who He meets trying to snatch her watch take the advice of a fence and team up with two "Pro" pickpockets (James Coburn and Walter Pidgeon.
Good performances by the four (especially Walter ), although what they are doing is despicable. Sort of frightening to see the techniques used to snatch other people's property and in an era where Credit cards weren't the norm and no worry about losing Your Social Security card or other ID.
Also nice to see locations other than the obvious (like NYC, LA, etc) and We get good footage of Seattle WA, Victoria BC and Salt Lake City UT. **
